A CHILD'S SKIN.
Ears and Scalp Covered with ECze-
matOuS SCabS and Sores
Cured by CutiCura.

1IY little son, aged eight years, has been at-
vi HiCtcd with Eczema of the scalp, and at
times great portion of the body, eyer since
ne WIS twO years old. II began IN his cars,
and extended to his scalp, which became Gov
cred with sCuhs and sores, and from which
sticky iluId poured out, causing Intense itch
ing and distress, and leaving his halr matted
and i!clcss. Underneath these sCabs the skin
was raw, ike IA piece OF beelstCak. Gradually
the hair came out and was destroyed, until
hut II small patch was left at the back of the
head. My friends in Peabody know how my
little boy mas suffered At night he would
scratch his head until his pillow was covered
with blood. | usCdtO tie his hands ben nd him.
and in many ways tried to prevent his
scratching: but II was no use, he would
scratch. | took him to the hospital and to the
best physicians in Peabody without success.
About this time. some friends, who had been
cured 10y the CUTICURA REMEDIES, prevailed
upon me to try them. ! began TO use them on
the 18th Of January last. In seven months
every particle of tie disease was removed.
Not II spot or sCab remains on his scalp to tell
the story of his suffering. His hair returned,
and is thick and strong, and his scalp rs sweet
and clean as any ChiIds i'm the world can
not say enough to express my gratitude for
this wonderful cure 10y the CUTlCURA RENE
DIES, and wish all similarly afflicted to know
that my statement is true and without eNag-
gorarOn. CHARLES MCKAY,
oct. a. 1885. Peabody, Mass.
! have seen Mr.. McKay's boy when badly
affected with the Eczema. He was pitiful
sight to look al. know that he has tried our
best physicians. and did all II father could do
Tor suffering child, but awaited nothing. |
regards the curing of his boy by your CUTI-
CTRA REMEDIES are true in every particular.

HIS FIRST MASS.
AN INTERESTING CEREMONY AT THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

1t does not often fall to the lot of a
country Catholic church to hear during
the year, the first masses of two new:
iy ordained priests. As every catho.
lie knows, it is considered a special
blessing. Such has been the case in
Saint Francis Xavier's church of this
Town. Last Spring our congregation
welcomed Rev. Father Dumas from
France, and on Sunday they again
welcomed Father Connolly, from New
York, who was ordained last Thurs
day at Natchitocles, by our Bishop
Monseigneur Durier.
The decorations were, as usual, very
fine, and the choir, under the leader
ship Of Mrs. Williams, rendered the
"Convent Mass" in very impressive
style.
The new Father has fine presence,
an excellent voice, and he displayed
a great deal of self-possession. Our
pastor, the Rev. l.. Menard, assisted
him through the whole mass.
Rev. L. Mcnard preached the ser
mon of welcome, taking his text from
the epistle of St. Paul to the Hebrews.
chap. 5, " 6, being the words of the
psalmist: "Thou art a priest forever,
after the order of Melchisidec." la
feeling words he welcomed the young
priest, as his co-worker in the vine
yard of the Lord and he explained
the Office of priest as sacriticator to
the Lord under the new dispensation
and as the keeper of the tabernacle,
being thereby the dispenser of Gods
mercies and his representative on
earth.
Rev. Father Connolly is to act as
vicar to Rev. Father Menard lie will
